Yes.  Which is why I am further asking if I can dump my tables.

I don't mind if someone else controls the infrastructure as long as I
can dump my tables.

I don't want to be an ASP/ISP.  At the same time, I expect any ASP/ISP
to give me the ability to access my data.  If they don't, then I'm not
interested.

Just because I want access to my data doesn't mean it has to be an
all-or-nothing deal.  I do _not_ have time to be an ASP/ISP.  I know
for some of you where that is your job function,  you can do such
almost "for free."

But the last time I did any ASP/ISP work as my primary job function
was 1995 -- and I'm _not_ interested in going back to it.  I keep
up-to-date just enough so I can architect enterprise solutions -- and
I _loathe_ the idea of doing tier-1 ASP/ISP support.

Even if just for myself.
